Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three. Is it true
that Jim ursay medled with the Colts coaching staff to
force the benching of Anthony Richardson. We'll talk about that also.
How big a deal is it that indy players learned
some of them anyway that Anthony Richardson was benched through
(00:23):
social media? And will the NFL spend money on a
minor league system to develop quarterbacks? We'll talk about that
and more right now here. It is our number three.
Ain't my fault? I got nothing to do with that.
Welome In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(00:44):
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere in combination.
That's right, as we have cheesy goodness in every single bite,
coast to coast, sport of the border and beyond on
the mast and snazzily powerful microphones of fsr MM nating
(01:06):

(01:29):
com the way tire buying show.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So our lead this hour is we're gonna go to
football now we will not avoid the World Series. The
Dodgers of the Champions. Happy Halloween, a very spooky, spooky, spooky,
spooky kind of a night. The Dodgers of the Champions
of Baseball. The Yankees with a great choke job. Loved
(01:55):
every boo boo everyone by the Yankees. And so we'll
continue that conversation. But our lead this hour is from
the National foot Ball League. Now, why are we going
to the National Football League? Because we know where our
bread is buttered, that is why. And we we're gonna
(02:17):
start out this hour. We're gonna go to Indianapolis. Interesting story.
We follow up what has been a soap opera in
that city. The in depth team coverage of the quarterback
shuffle heard round the NFL. A lot of finger pointing,
a lot of finger pointing in Indy. And if you've
not heard the latest, maybe not. The head coach of
(02:40):
the Colt chain Steichen, says that Joe Flacco will not
only be the starter in the Sunday night game against
the Minnesota Vikings, but he's gonna be the starter for
the rest of the season. The move was made because
the Colts are in win now mode. Win now mode
(03:02):
for the Colts, yep. Now the streets are talking. I
don't know if you've heard what I've heard, but I
have heard the follow I have heard that the owner,
Jim Ersay, is the one behind this, That Jim Ersay
he was the one that made the calls and sent
the messages and said, hey, we got to get this
(03:24):
guy Richardson off the field. The guy can't play. That
he meddled in football ops for the Indianapolis Colts. So
let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel. Is
it true that Jim Ersay, the longtime owner of the
Indianapolis Colts, medled medled with the front office and the
(03:48):
coaching staff to bench Anthony Richardson. So I've got focus group,
chain gang, and bookkeeping. We'll combined all all of these
things together and we are going to make you an
old piano, which Jim Mersay will probably buy at an auction,
(04:09):
a parlor piano he will buy and then perform at
and we'll be seven people watching, and he'll be happy.
Now to answer the question, is it true Jim Mersy
medled with the Colts football ops for Antony rich We
obviously don't work for the Colts. We don't know for sure,
but all the evidence is pointing that direction.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's one of those things. It's like does manure stink? Yeah,
it does, right, And so Jim Mersey's fingerprints are all
over this, all over this movie. It's very reminiscent of
when he hired the high school guy to coach the
team a couple of years ago. I remember from TV.
He's like, well, I liked him. Jeff Saturday played for
the Colts and had the ear of Jim Mersay. So
(04:53):
he's like, all right, we'll put him in. Would it
shock you if Jeff Saturday or someone else reached out
to Jim Mercy and said, Jim, this guy Richardson can't play.
You gotta go with Flacco. And Nur says like, all right,
I'll go with Flaco. And he looks around. You see
there's a path to the playoffs the AFC South if
(05:14):
you look around. The Titans are a joke. Jacksonville's terrible.
Houston has a sexy record. However, there's some weak spots.
We'll see them on Thursday Night Football against the Jets.
They're actually an underdog. Did you know that Texans are
an underdog against the Jets in that game? Gambling gambling line. Now,
Jim Irsay knows that Joe Flacco in the recent past
(05:39):
led a team to the playoffs. The Cleveland Browns had
that glorious run last season where they won a bunch
of games at the end of last year on a
playoff run a year ago, and then got smoked by
the Texans and the playoffs and ersa. At this point,
you think about if you owned a team. I know
this is how I would operate if I owned a
(05:59):
professional sports team, and it was my passion. Jimmer says
worth four point eight billion, all because he won the
genetic lottery and he happened to be born to a
father that made all that money. The family will so
Jim Orsay does not need a blue ribbon panel. There's
no need for a blue ribbon panel to tell how
(06:20):
to run the team. There's no need for that. The
nerds are not in charge of the Colts. They have
nerds that work there, but they're not in charge. They're not.
Jim Ersay is a one man focus group. He is,
Jimmer says, a one man focus group. Now, we would
be shocked if he wasn't behind this right Everything points
(06:43):
that direction, and why would he not be. He wants
the winners. Getting a little antsy. The Colts haven't been
particularly good in a while, and it's like, what are
we doing here? At the lunch with some former players,
had like a three martini lunch somewhere and they're there,
you go, who knows? Now? As for the idea that
(07:03):
is being spread that Anthony Richardson is garanteed to return
next season as QB one in Indianapolis, I would say
that is wash. That is hogwash. There are no guarantees.
When you fall out of the bubble, the bubble of trust,
(07:26):
it's very difficult to get back in the bubble. And
make no mistake, Make no mistake. Anthony Richardson and I
have no skin in the game, is on the outside
of the bubble. And you know that the Colts are
gonna have a wandering eye, and they're gonna be on
all the dating sites and they're gonna be swiping different
(07:47):
directions here, looking around here, playing footsie, trying to find
somebody else as their next forever quarterback. That's the way
this works now, Page two. Here How big a deal
is it? How big a deal is it that indie
players such as Michael Pittman the wide receiver, learned that
Anthony Richardson had been removed was being benched through social
(08:12):
media since got a lot of attention, always gets headlines
when people in sports learn of something like this via
social media. And I have the same reaction, Who the
f cares? It's irrelevant? Right, why is this still a thing?
(08:35):
I'll give it you. Over the last ten years, players
have been traded, coaches have been fired, and you know
what has happened. Many of those stories broke on social media,
and that's how people learned about those transactions on social media,
So who cares? In fact, fifteen years ago, Fox Sports
(08:57):
Radio whacked me. They fired me, they got rid of me.
It's laid off from Fox Sports Radio was January twentieth
of nine, So I got let go. I was on
the air January nineteenth into the twentieth. I knew I
was getting fired from social media. It was on social media.
I was getting like, oh, I knew it, But you
(09:20):
know what, who cares? I didn't have a problem with it.
It's like it doesn't make it any better. Like if
you're if your team, Anthony Richardson, if you're on that
side of the aisle, it doesn't make it any better, right,
it'll make any better that you all you found out
face to face meeting and all that. And so I
look at this and I'm like, all right, I mean,
(09:40):
this is how people get their news. It's not that
bad unless you're like over the age of like sixty.
This is how people get their news. And so I
look at it like the chain gang. As long as
Jim irsay and the Colts followed the chain of command
and they let Richardson know and they let Flaco know
before they released the news. As long long does that happen,
(10:02):
that's all that matters. Everyone else doesn't really matter, right,
you know, stay in your lane. As LeVar Ball used
to say back in the day, every time you change
the depth chart, it does not warrant a zoom meeting
with the entire roster. It's not the way it works
in the real world. It's not. And so if you
(10:22):
have a problem with that, that's on you now. Final point.
A number of quarterback apologists have been ranting and raving,
complaining it's not fair that Anthony Richardson who had the
lowest completion percentage in the NFL and was a throwback
to the late seventies early eighties, an archaic quarterback that
(10:46):
Anthony Richardson got bench is not fair. Went on and
on and many people pointing to the same direction that
the NFL needs a developmental system. So the question will
the NFL actually spend the required funds? Will they spend
the required funds to put a minor league system in
(11:09):
so a got like Anthony richard Is gonna be drafted
and then go play in Muskegan for a couple of years, right,
or who knows where beaver Dam you can go play.
So the answer here is all about the bookkeeping. It's
all about the booking the NFL owners. I was told
by somebody in the NFL years ago the NFL owners
(11:31):
tried the NFL Europe. But the main reason they did
that was not to develop players. They did it because
they thought they could make money. They thought that was
that was ground. They could market the NFL something similar,
even though it's a ripoff version of the NFL. They
could do that in Europe and they would make money
(11:51):
long term. Instead, the cost became problematic. They didn't make money.
They did develop that many players. And as far as
the yahbit, well, yeah, but what about Kurt Warner? Yeah
but yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but I think Jake
Deloan was in that league. They'll go on and on
about that. But there were a handful of players that
(12:13):
turned out to be pretty good from that league. But
the finances they fetched around with that they could not
make it work. They ended up bleeding money. And they
don't want to bleed money. So the owners they look
at the bookkeeping and they do the risk assessment and
the cost benefit analysis and has the climate changed. There's
(12:36):
a lot of people get on social media, well we
should have a develop mental league. But do you don't
watch the XFL, the UFL, whatever, these all these these
fugazy leagues that pop up are terrible and spoiler alert,
the NFL minor league would be just as bad. And
just because you put the NFL logo on it does
(12:56):
not make it any better. It still sucks. It's a
bad product. Can you get advertisers? Can you make it work?
And the answer has been no, And if the answer
ever becomes yes, they'll be a minor league system. But
the NFL likes it the way it is they like
the fact that they have a religious revival in late
(13:17):
April every year where you draft someone in the first
and second round and they are the Savior, They're the Messiah.
It doesn't work as well when you draft that player
and then send them to Tim Buck two. It doesn't work.

Hurts says that he did not actually golf with former
President Obama because of blank again Jalen Hurts of the Eagles.
It was widely reported that he went golfing with Obama,
(14:23):
but Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts says he did not actually
go golfing with former president Obama because of blank. That
is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll

and passed out some candy if any kids show up.
That's about it.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You watched that thrilling Thursday night NFL game Jets and
Texans Halloween ninth.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Probably. What I usually do is I'll take my laptop
out in the garage. We set up like a table
in in.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
The garage, okay, and I'll have it on you work
on the car while you're in the garage.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
No, I'll be sitting out there at at a table
with all you sit at table for the kids.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah. Yeah, have you ever tried just to leave the
ball out there? Say take only one, put a sign
of this is taken.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
I like to see what they're what they're wearing. I
like to see the costumes. Like to see that, you know,
say hi to the neighbors. Do some kids come up
who are like older kids? Do you give them candy?
Or do you say, I'll let him say candy, but
I will give him a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You give them the evil arguing, a little stinking like
what you're doing here?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, I got you a little old for this.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, well you're really too old. Like Lorraina's you know
she's older, she's wearing costume. You know she's dressed.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
She's gonna go trigger treating. I might, Yeah, I give her,
I give her a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Then it depends how hungry she is she might go
and it is the Ben Mahlor Show, got pay off
the Mallor riddle of the day. And here is the
Mallor riddle of the day. If you're dancing and dining pleasure,
We go to football where Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts recently
said that he did not actually go golfing with former
(16:54):
President Obama because of blank. It had been widely reported
that he had, but he said, no, it's not true.
I did not actually end up going golfing. So that
is the malor riddle of the day. What is the answer?
Late night drug tester says he wanted to roll in
the hay. Who else do we have? Page down? He
(17:16):
did not go golfing because the windmill at Whole five
was out of order. Makes sense. He had a grueling
case of runners trots from Lady Sideburns. Thank you for that.
He was trying to find a station to listen to
the Ben Mallor show. Mallard monologue from Donkey Sausage. He
(17:36):
had answer. The answer is the last minute Halloween shopping
from mass Whole Mikeys at that Spirit Halloween place. Yeah,
who else do we have? King Rory says because of
technical difficulties. Well, we don't control that. We do the show.
We're doing the show, whether there's technical difficulties or not.
The show goes on. Because no carts were available from
(17:58):
ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. JT. The Wingman says, a date with
Lizzo is the answer. Joe says he smelled like cigarettes
in Forrest Gump's voice. Cowboy Drew says he was out
golfing with p Diddy. Who else do we have? Had
a rash on his buttocks? From Robin, Minnesota, j D
(18:20):
and Casey because he said he decided to play with
Trump instead. Now da Boy Malcolm said, because brothers don't
golf is what he said? Interesting? All right, Eddie, do
you add you have an answer? Eddie again the Mallard
riddle of the day. Jalen Hurts of the Eagles says
he did not actually end up golfing with former President
(18:43):
Obama because of blank.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I'm gonna say it was because he had tush push
practice tushbush. He had to be he had to have
his tushy pushyied. That is incorrect, Eddie. The correct answer.
Jalen Hurts claims he could not play golf. Because his
contract does not allow him to play golf.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So instead he just spent the day. Yeah, he has
a clause in his contract that will not allow him play.
Why would that be? Who gets hurt playing golf? Unless
you're like in South Carolina and where's the fan for
it by the way, and an alligator comes over there
and eats it or whatever? Like, what's up with that?
So instead, Jalen Hurts spent the day he wrote a
(19:32):
golf cart along with Sekwan Barkley and Jeffrey Luriy, the
owner of the Eagles, and they golfed.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I guess he was the So the owner who signed
her the contract that he can't golf was yes, golfing
with him, but.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
He was in golfing very bizarre hollering James, never bizarre.
Is in Minneapolis, Minnesota? Hello, hollering James.

Yeah, A long time ago.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I was down at Anaheim one time when they won
the World Series.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
But dogs and fans was jumping on a just fan
wagons because they was playing the Giants and they turned
over the Remember when they turned over a radio van
in the parking lot.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
I think it was a radio van.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It was it like a TV truck that they turned over.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Yeah, they turned it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I was in the parking lot. Yeah, and then they
was chasing some Giants things.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I remember. He really is a fond memory for helping man.
I remember it still fundy chasing the smell when when
the Lakers won one of the champions back when Kobe
was playing for him, and I was walking my car
after and we walked by they had they they'd rioted.
They'd burned down a Channel two newsman and an LA
PD cruiser they had burned down and I was walking
(25:22):
by it and the smell I could still I still
remember that smell when I was walking back. Smelled like death.
There were a lot of chemicals and I'm probably gonna
die earlier because I smelled that it was really nasty.
It's terrible. It was still smoldering when I walked by.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
What I was I wanted them to botch the game
so they could win it in LA.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Would you say you picked the Dodgers in five Now
you're saying you wanted them to lose.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, so they could win it in LA. Because my
found twenty seventeen, when I was my Dodger stadium, well
a few days ago, one guy say, if they win,
ain't come.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Back, I'll give you a World Series copy ticket.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh all right, so you missed out on that. I
got to I gotta go, helmet Man. But be good,

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Okay, I'll be out there.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right, there he goes our friend helmet Man.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And it is the Ben Mahler Show. And I thought,
since the Dodgers won the championship, I think what we
should do is just do commercial free radio for the
rest of the hour. Is that not a great idea?
Speaker 8 (26:41):

Speaker 7 (28:32):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
We're gonna start off with Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Hi, Cowboy Killer, and he wants to know when a
new register line opens at a store, do you let
the person in front of you go or do you do.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
You jump into that new line.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, this actually happens a lot. I do the grocery
shopping at the house, and so I'm at the store
a lot. During a couple times during the week, I'll
go to the grocery store. Normally, the etiquette is that
the person who's opening the next line will come over
and invite the person who's at the very front to
step over. Now, if they they do that, then obviously
(29:07):
I follow the proper et Again. If they don't do that,
every man for himself, every man, woman for themselves. What
about you?
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Eddie, Well, it depends. You know, I'm a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
So if it's are you saying I'm not a gentleman?
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You're implying that.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
If it's if it's a lady, you know that's a lady.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Well, I believe in equal White, writes Eddie. I only
women and men are equally.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I believe in being a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
As I said, so dinosaur.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
If it's like an older lady, I'll I'll let her
go on through ahead of me. But if it's it's
it's younger or if it's aboushka, you'll let them go.
If it's a younger person or it's some guy, and
then I usually.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
When does a woman become a baboushka? When does that happen?
Speaker 5 (29:50):
How old are you when you're a baboosh Can you
tell me it's your word?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Well, Raina, how old would you be when you're a babooshka?
Sixty five? You don't even know what that? Seventy seventy
is a babushka? Yeah, all right? That means grandmother, Eddie
means grandmother. As far as the question at hand, here
Lorena telor line opens up. Huh do you run to
(30:17):
the teler line or let the person who's next in
line go?
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Well, Ben, I have this thing called pretty girl privilege,
so usually for me specifically, and they always tell me
to go first.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Are you saying your life's a little easier when you
look like you do as opposed to us? I got you,
I understand, Jesus Christ. Cool.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
I heard that that was on the It's jealous.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Uh, but that only lasts for so long, Loraina. At
some point you lose that superpower, so you must enjoy
you must embrace the superpower, right, I.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Will embrace it.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Yeah. For the record, I would not let Loraina go.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
I was just about to say, if Lorena women Eddy
you said, you said you're a gentleman.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
The older women though, like so you like the babushkas
like she gets a lot of stuff. She didn't need
any She doesn't need that for me.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Oh, she definitely gets a lot of stuff. Yes, she
does more than more than us. Oh man, all right, cop.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Yeah, I got used self checkout.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah, but what do they don't have?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, they also limit it now because everyone in California
steals everything, so they've limited how many items you can
have in self checkout.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Yes, I haven't done that at my story yet.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
The one I go to does not have self checkout.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
What kind of story? What do you do in the
nineteen eighties, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
I'm just telling you it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
What's next?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
They just remodeled the store too.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
The King Rory wants to know what is your favorite
horror film?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, growing up, I didn't really like horrord. The one
we watched a lot was Friday the Thirteenth. That was
a kid that was like a big thing. But I mean,
I don't know. Just Beetle Beetle two doesn't really count.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
That's not scary.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I guess Friday in the genre, Go Friday the Thirteenth.
What about you, Addie?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I don't like horror movies for the most part, but
I would. I would say, if I had to pick one,
probably The Shining The Shining.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
Yeah, all right, I like Insidious or The Ring.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Cool.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
I think this counts as a horror movie. Silence of
the Lambs.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
I love Lambs.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah that counts. Yeah, all right? What's the next? Just
ask Ben? Your questions are answers. Since the Dodgers won
the World series, We're going the rest of the hour

company FFing up? What is next? Your cool?
Speaker 7 (32:34):
All right, let's see, we're gonna start with We're gonna
go with the lady sideburns.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
High lady sideburns. Of all the ladies that have sideburns,
that's my favorite. I'm pretty sure I already know what
Ben's answer to this scene.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Answer I do, but it's so it's pretty much for
the rest of us, this question, it is what celebrity
death was the most devastating for you?
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Well, I know what yours is? Cool? Well, yeah, yeah,
you're is none of them. I don't care about celebrities.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Well no, I mean I there were people that I
knew that I was sad they died when Vin Scully died,
Tommy Lasorda, these, but they lived long lives, and you know,
if you live a long, full life, it sucks. So no,
you know, I yeah, I don't really get worked up
over celebrity desks, my my mom dying, my dad dying.
I got pissed off about that, you know, celebrities. I
didn't really know him.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Eddie, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Uh see Eddie's like me, see that killed. Eddie's like me, I.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Don't know that. There's certainly something I'm like, oh no,
that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
But I don't know that I've ever he That was
when John Richard died. I was bombed, he got killed.
I sucked. I like John. I was good, you know. Yeah,
I meant Phil Hartmon, I liked Phil harmon day.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
That was me. Yeah, I can't think of one where
I was really like devastated. I always thought, I don't know,
that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
But you know there's some of you're surprised. I got
Paul Walker right when he got killed. Yeah, yeah, sure,
I got Lorena.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Besides Betty White, may she rest in peace.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
Although that was.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
You know, lived like twenty more years than she was
opposed to who doesn't want.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
What was kind of sad she didn't get to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
She was so close, so close.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Okay, anyways, besides her, Brittany Murphy really ruined my heart
like that one.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That one hurt.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Yeah, that was a shot.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
I actually actually have thought of one. Chris Chris Cornell,
Chris Cornell. I was a big Chris Cornell fan that
I was. I did bum me out, all right, you
know that is the music.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Yeah, yeah, Charley, Chris Farley.

I didn't get to meet him. Attack right, Cools Kobe, Right,
(35:10):

Speaker 8 (35:12):
That one was devastating.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That was unbelievable. Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Did you cry?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I did? Yeah, that was it was I thought it
was fake. Remember initially who else they said was on
the helicopter they thought had died too? No, no, Rick Fox.
Speaker 10 (35:26):
Originally they said Rick Fox initial reports and then but
it's like a bunch of kids right in their pants. No,
I just I just, I mean, I remember it was
right over here, right up the road from us. I'm
like a couple of miles away from what we're broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Yeah, I was getting ready to play a hockey game.
We're in the locker room and some guy on his
phones like, oh my god, Kobe died. And I'm like,
who's reporting that? That was my reporter? Who's reporting that? Yeah,
because you know where those internet hoaxes.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I'm like, he's alive.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, I can't remember what he said it was. I
was like, oh crap.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I kept getting actually in the morning and I'm like what,
people stop texting me. That's exactly what happened to me.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
I was sleeping and like my phone's blowing up, and
I don't just ignore it, but I'm like, what is
going on?

little peanut butter candies that are kind of chewable and

of overtaken them.

Eddie
Hello and welcome. It's our number three. Is it true
that Jim ursay medled with the Colts coaching staff to
force the benching of Anthony Richardson. We'll talk about that also.
How big a deal is it that indy players learned
some of them anyway that Anthony Richardson was benched through
(00:23):
social media? And will the NFL spend money on a
minor league system to develop quarterbacks? We'll talk about that
and more right now here. It is our number three.
Ain't my fault? I got nothing to do with that.
Welome In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(00:44):
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere in combination.
That's right, as we have cheesy goodness in every single bite,
coast to coast, sport of the border and beyond on
the mast and snazzily powerful microphones of fsr MM nating
(01:06):
line from the eye the eye of the hurricane. We're
broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyract dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers. G Manage in Chicago likes that tyrac dot
(01:29):
com the way tire buying show.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So our lead this hour is we're gonna go to
football now we will not avoid the World Series. The
Dodgers of the Champions. Happy Halloween, a very spooky, spooky, spooky,
spooky kind of a night. The Dodgers of the Champions
of Baseball. The Yankees with a great choke job. Loved
(01:55):
every boo boo everyone by the Yankees. And so we'll
continue that conversation. But our lead this hour is from
the National foot Ball League. Now, why are we going
to the National Football League? Because we know where our
bread is buttered, that is why. And we we're gonna
(02:17):
start out this hour. We're gonna go to Indianapolis. Interesting story.
We follow up what has been a soap opera in
that city. The in depth team coverage of the quarterback
shuffle heard round the NFL. A lot of finger pointing,
a lot of finger pointing in Indy. And if you've
not heard the latest, maybe not. The head coach of
(02:40):
the Colt chain Steichen, says that Joe Flacco will not
only be the starter in the Sunday night game against
the Minnesota Vikings, but he's gonna be the starter for
the rest of the season. The move was made because
the Colts are in win now mode. Win now mode
(03:02):
for the Colts, yep. Now the streets are talking. I
don't know if you've heard what I've heard, but I
have heard the follow I have heard that the owner,
Jim Ersay, is the one behind this, That Jim Ersay
he was the one that made the calls and sent
the messages and said, hey, we got to get this
(03:24):
guy Richardson off the field. The guy can't play. That
he meddled in football ops for the Indianapolis Colts. So
let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel. Is
it true that Jim Ersay, the longtime owner of the
Indianapolis Colts, medled medled with the front office and the
(03:48):
coaching staff to bench Anthony Richardson. So I've got focus group,
chain gang, and bookkeeping. We'll combined all all of these
things together and we are going to make you an
old piano, which Jim Mersay will probably buy at an auction,
(04:09):
a parlor piano he will buy and then perform at
and we'll be seven people watching, and he'll be happy.
Now to answer the question, is it true Jim Mersy
medled with the Colts football ops for Antony rich We
obviously don't work for the Colts. We don't know for sure,
but all the evidence is pointing that direction.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's one of those things. It's like does manure stink? Yeah,
it does, right, And so Jim Mersey's fingerprints are all
over this, all over this movie. It's very reminiscent of
when he hired the high school guy to coach the
team a couple of years ago. I remember from TV.
He's like, well, I liked him. Jeff Saturday played for
the Colts and had the ear of Jim Mersay. So
(04:53):
he's like, all right, we'll put him in. Would it
shock you if Jeff Saturday or someone else reached out
to Jim Mercy and said, Jim, this guy Richardson can't play.
You gotta go with Flacco. And Nur says like, all right,
I'll go with Flaco. And he looks around. You see
there's a path to the playoffs the AFC South if
(05:14):
you look around. The Titans are a joke. Jacksonville's terrible.
Houston has a sexy record. However, there's some weak spots.
We'll see them on Thursday Night Football against the Jets.
They're actually an underdog. Did you know that Texans are
an underdog against the Jets in that game? Gambling gambling line. Now,
Jim Irsay knows that Joe Flacco in the recent past
(05:39):
led a team to the playoffs. The Cleveland Browns had
that glorious run last season where they won a bunch
of games at the end of last year on a
playoff run a year ago, and then got smoked by
the Texans and the playoffs and ersa. At this point,
you think about if you owned a team. I know
this is how I would operate if I owned a
(05:59):
professional sports team, and it was my passion. Jimmer says
worth four point eight billion, all because he won the
genetic lottery and he happened to be born to a
father that made all that money. The family will so
Jim Orsay does not need a blue ribbon panel. There's
no need for a blue ribbon panel to tell how
(06:20):
to run the team. There's no need for that. The
nerds are not in charge of the Colts. They have
nerds that work there, but they're not in charge. They're not.
Jim Ersay is a one man focus group. He is,
Jimmer says, a one man focus group. Now, we would
be shocked if he wasn't behind this right Everything points
(06:43):
that direction, and why would he not be. He wants
the winners. Getting a little antsy. The Colts haven't been
particularly good in a while, and it's like, what are
we doing here? At the lunch with some former players,
had like a three martini lunch somewhere and they're there,
you go, who knows? Now? As for the idea that
(07:03):
is being spread that Anthony Richardson is garanteed to return
next season as QB one in Indianapolis, I would say
that is wash. That is hogwash. There are no guarantees.
When you fall out of the bubble, the bubble of trust,
(07:26):
it's very difficult to get back in the bubble. And
make no mistake, Make no mistake. Anthony Richardson and I
have no skin in the game, is on the outside
of the bubble. And you know that the Colts are
gonna have a wandering eye, and they're gonna be on
all the dating sites and they're gonna be swiping different
(07:47):
directions here, looking around here, playing footsie, trying to find
somebody else as their next forever quarterback. That's the way
this works now, Page two. Here How big a deal
is it? How big a deal is it that indie
players such as Michael Pittman the wide receiver, learned that
Anthony Richardson had been removed was being benched through social
(08:12):
media since got a lot of attention, always gets headlines
when people in sports learn of something like this via
social media. And I have the same reaction, Who the
f cares? It's irrelevant? Right, why is this still a thing?
(08:35):
I'll give it you. Over the last ten years, players
have been traded, coaches have been fired, and you know
what has happened. Many of those stories broke on social media,
and that's how people learned about those transactions on social media,
So who cares? In fact, fifteen years ago, Fox Sports
(08:57):
Radio whacked me. They fired me, they got rid of me.
It's laid off from Fox Sports Radio was January twentieth
of nine, So I got let go. I was on
the air January nineteenth into the twentieth. I knew I
was getting fired from social media. It was on social media.
I was getting like, oh, I knew it, But you
(09:20):
know what, who cares? I didn't have a problem with it.
It's like it doesn't make it any better. Like if
you're if your team, Anthony Richardson, if you're on that
side of the aisle, it doesn't make it any better, right,
it'll make any better that you all you found out
face to face meeting and all that. And so I
look at this and I'm like, all right, I mean,
(09:40):
this is how people get their news. It's not that
bad unless you're like over the age of like sixty.
This is how people get their news. And so I
look at it like the chain gang. As long as
Jim irsay and the Colts followed the chain of command
and they let Richardson know and they let Flaco know
before they released the news. As long long does that happen,
(10:02):
that's all that matters. Everyone else doesn't really matter, right,
you know, stay in your lane. As LeVar Ball used
to say back in the day, every time you change
the depth chart, it does not warrant a zoom meeting
with the entire roster. It's not the way it works
in the real world. It's not. And so if you
(10:22):
have a problem with that, that's on you now. Final point.
A number of quarterback apologists have been ranting and raving,
complaining it's not fair that Anthony Richardson who had the
lowest completion percentage in the NFL and was a throwback
to the late seventies early eighties, an archaic quarterback that
(10:46):
Anthony Richardson got bench is not fair. Went on and
on and many people pointing to the same direction that
the NFL needs a developmental system. So the question will
the NFL actually spend the required funds? Will they spend
the required funds to put a minor league system in
(11:09):
so a got like Anthony richard Is gonna be drafted
and then go play in Muskegan for a couple of years, right,
or who knows where beaver Dam you can go play.
So the answer here is all about the bookkeeping. It's
all about the booking the NFL owners. I was told
by somebody in the NFL years ago the NFL owners
(11:31):
tried the NFL Europe. But the main reason they did
that was not to develop players. They did it because
they thought they could make money. They thought that was
that was ground. They could market the NFL something similar,
even though it's a ripoff version of the NFL. They
could do that in Europe and they would make money
(11:51):
long term. Instead, the cost became problematic. They didn't make money.
They did develop that many players. And as far as
the yahbit, well, yeah, but what about Kurt Warner? Yeah
but yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but I think Jake
Deloan was in that league. They'll go on and on
about that. But there were a handful of players that
(12:13):
turned out to be pretty good from that league. But
the finances they fetched around with that they could not
make it work. They ended up bleeding money. And they
don't want to bleed money. So the owners they look
at the bookkeeping and they do the risk assessment and
the cost benefit analysis and has the climate changed. There's
(12:36):
a lot of people get on social media, well we
should have a develop mental league. But do you don't
watch the XFL, the UFL, whatever, these all these these
fugazy leagues that pop up are terrible and spoiler alert,
the NFL minor league would be just as bad. And
just because you put the NFL logo on it does
(12:56):
not make it any better. It still sucks. It's a
bad product. Can you get advertisers? Can you make it work?
And the answer has been no, And if the answer
ever becomes yes, they'll be a minor league system. But
the NFL likes it the way it is they like
the fact that they have a religious revival in late
(13:17):
April every year where you draft someone in the first
and second round and they are the Savior, They're the Messiah.
It doesn't work as well when you draft that player
and then send them to Tim Buck two. It doesn't work.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like

Hurts says that he did not actually golf with former
President Obama because of blank again Jalen Hurts of the Eagles.
It was widely reported that he went golfing with Obama,
(14:23):
but Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts says he did not actually
go golfing with former president Obama because of blank. That
is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll
get to it, and we will.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
There ready big plans, No big plans, No big plans,
and passed out some candy if any kids show up.
That's about it.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You watched that thrilling Thursday night NFL game Jets and
Texans Halloween ninth.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Probably. What I usually do is I'll take my laptop
out in the garage. We set up like a table
in in.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
The garage, okay, and I'll have it on you work
on the car while you're in the garage.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
No, I'll be sitting out there at at a table
with all you sit at table for the kids.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah. Yeah, have you ever tried just to leave the
ball out there? Say take only one, put a sign
of this is taken.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
I like to see what they're what they're wearing. I
like to see the costumes. Like to see that, you know,
say hi to the neighbors. Do some kids come up
who are like older kids? Do you give them candy?
Or do you say, I'll let him say candy, but
I will give him a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You give them the evil arguing, a little stinking like
what you're doing here?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, I got you a little old for this.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, well you're really too old. Like Lorraina's you know
she's older, she's wearing costume. You know she's dressed.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
She's gonna go trigger treating. I might, Yeah, I give her,
I give her a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Then it depends how hungry she is she might go
and it is the Ben Mahlor Show, got pay off
the Mallor riddle of the day. And here is the
Mallor riddle of the day. If you're dancing and dining pleasure,
We go to football where Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts recently
said that he did not actually go golfing with former
(16:54):
President Obama because of blank. It had been widely reported
that he had, but he said, no, it's not true.
I did not actually end up going golfing. So that
is the malor riddle of the day. What is the answer?
Late night drug tester says he wanted to roll in
the hay. Who else do we have? Page down? He
(17:16):
did not go golfing because the windmill at Whole five
was out of order. Makes sense. He had a grueling
case of runners trots from Lady Sideburns. Thank you for that.
He was trying to find a station to listen to
the Ben Mallor show. Mallard monologue from Donkey Sausage. He
(17:36):
had answer. The answer is the last minute Halloween shopping
from mass Whole Mikeys at that Spirit Halloween place. Yeah,
who else do we have? King Rory says because of
technical difficulties. Well, we don't control that. We do the show.
We're doing the show, whether there's technical difficulties or not.
The show goes on. Because no carts were available from
(17:58):
ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. JT. The Wingman says, a date with
Lizzo is the answer. Joe says he smelled like cigarettes
in Forrest Gump's voice. Cowboy Drew says he was out
golfing with p Diddy. Who else do we have? Had
a rash on his buttocks? From Robin, Minnesota, j D
(18:20):
and Casey because he said he decided to play with
Trump instead. Now da Boy Malcolm said, because brothers don't
golf is what he said? Interesting? All right, Eddie, do
you add you have an answer? Eddie again the Mallard
riddle of the day. Jalen Hurts of the Eagles says
he did not actually end up golfing with former President
(18:43):
Obama because of blank.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I'm gonna say it was because he had tush push
practice tushbush. He had to be he had to have
his tushy pushyied. That is incorrect, Eddie. The correct answer.
Jalen Hurts claims he could not play golf. Because his
contract does not allow him to play golf.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So instead he just spent the day. Yeah, he has
a clause in his contract that will not allow him play.
Why would that be? Who gets hurt playing golf? Unless
you're like in South Carolina and where's the fan for
it by the way, and an alligator comes over there
and eats it or whatever? Like, what's up with that?
So instead, Jalen Hurts spent the day he wrote a
(19:32):
golf cart along with Sekwan Barkley and Jeffrey Luriy, the
owner of the Eagles, and they golfed.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I guess he was the So the owner who signed
her the contract that he can't golf was yes, golfing
with him, but.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
He was in golfing very bizarre hollering James, never bizarre.
Is in Minneapolis, Minnesota? Hello, hollering James.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yes, not me in then, James, you.
Speaker 5 (20:00):

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say, help me, man. I walked

Speaker 6 (23:30):
I was in the doorway.

Oh okay, yeah.

you're way back in the day.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Yeah, A long time ago.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I was down at Anaheim one time when they won
the World Series.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
But dogs and fans was jumping on a just fan
wagons because they was playing the Giants and they turned
over the Remember when they turned over a radio van
in the parking lot.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
I think it was a radio van.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It was it like a TV truck that they turned over.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Yeah, they turned it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I was in the parking lot. Yeah, and then they
was chasing some Giants things.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I remember. He really is a fond memory for helping man.
I remember it still fundy chasing the smell when when
the Lakers won one of the champions back when Kobe
was playing for him, and I was walking my car
after and we walked by they had they they'd rioted.
They'd burned down a Channel two newsman and an LA
PD cruiser they had burned down and I was walking
(25:22):
by it and the smell I could still I still
remember that smell when I was walking back. Smelled like death.
There were a lot of chemicals and I'm probably gonna
die earlier because I smelled that it was really nasty.
It's terrible. It was still smoldering when I walked by.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
What I was I wanted them to botch the game
so they could win it in LA.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Would you say you picked the Dodgers in five Now
you're saying you wanted them to lose.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, so they could win it in LA. Because my
found twenty seventeen, when I was my Dodger stadium, well
a few days ago, one guy say, if they win,
ain't come.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Back, I'll give you a World Series copy ticket.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh all right, so you missed out on that. I
got to I gotta go, helmet Man. But be good,

And it is the Ben Mahler Show. And I thought,
since the Dodgers won the championship, I think what we
should do is just do commercial free radio for the
rest of the hour. Is that not a great idea?
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Well, I think, Eddie, I think we can do a
big block. Now let me let me do this one
read here, and then we'll be good, right, and then
we'll be good for the rest of the hour. Probably
will be good. Maybe maybe maybe not. I don't know.
There's some people on the phone.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
All right, Well, anyway, and we will have Ask Ben,

(27:54):
It's now time for time.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Is your questions on Twitter now? Use that hashtag. Ask Ben,
it's called X. Now it's not called Twitter anymore, but
we like the imaging, so we keep the imaging and
these are actual questions by actual listeners like yourself. We
send the mic over to the Kooper Loop for this
long extended dance remix of ask Ben and friends your questions.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
And our answers. It'll always be Twitter.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, it's called X.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
That's a stupid name.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
We're gonna start off with Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Hi, Cowboy Killer, and he wants to know when a
new register line opens at a store, do you let
the person in front of you go or do you do.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
You jump into that new line.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, this actually happens a lot. I do the grocery
shopping at the house, and so I'm at the store
a lot. During a couple times during the week, I'll
go to the grocery store. Normally, the etiquette is that
the person who's opening the next line will come over
and invite the person who's at the very front to
step over. Now, if they they do that, then obviously
(29:07):
I follow the proper et Again. If they don't do that,
every man for himself, every man, woman for themselves. What
about you?
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Eddie, Well, it depends. You know, I'm a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
So if it's are you saying I'm not a gentleman?
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You're implying that.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
If it's if it's a lady, you know that's a lady.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Well, I believe in equal White, writes Eddie. I only
women and men are equally.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I believe in being a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
As I said, so dinosaur.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
If it's like an older lady, I'll I'll let her
go on through ahead of me. But if it's it's
it's younger or if it's aboushka, you'll let them go.
If it's a younger person or it's some guy, and

Speaker 5 (30:51):
Yeah. For the record, I would not let Loraina go.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
I was just about to say, if Lorena women Eddy
you said, you said you're a gentleman.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
The older women though, like so you like the babushkas
like she gets a lot of stuff. She didn't need
any She doesn't need that for me.

Yeah, I got used self checkout.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah, but what do they don't have?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, they also limit it now because everyone in California
steals everything, so they've limited how many items you can
have in self checkout.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Yes, I haven't done that at my story yet.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
The one I go to does not have self checkout.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
What kind of story? What do you do in the

The King Rory wants to know what is your favorite
horror film?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, growing up, I didn't really like horrord. The one
we watched a lot was Friday the Thirteenth. That was
a kid that was like a big thing. But I mean,
I don't know. Just Beetle Beetle two doesn't really count.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
That's not scary.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I guess Friday in the genre, Go Friday the Thirteenth.
What about you, Addie?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I don't like horror movies for the most part, but
I would. I would say, if I had to pick one,
probably The Shining The Shining.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
Yeah, all right, I like Insidious or The Ring.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Cool.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
I think this counts as a horror movie. Silence of
the Lambs.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
I love Lambs.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah that counts. Yeah, all right? What's the next? Just

that's my favorite. I'm pretty sure I already know what
Ben's answer to this scene.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Answer I do, but it's so it's pretty much for
the rest of us, this question, it is what celebrity
death was the most devastating for you?
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Well, I know what yours is? Cool? Well, yeah, yeah,
you're is none of them. I don't care about celebrities.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Well no, I mean I there were people that I
knew that I was sad they died when Vin Scully died,
Tommy Lasorda, these, but they lived long lives, and you know,
if you live a long, full life, it sucks. So no,
you know, I yeah, I don't really get worked up
over celebrity desks, my my mom dying, my dad dying.
I got pissed off about that, you know, celebrities. I
didn't really know him.

Eddie, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Uh see Eddie's like me, see that killed. Eddie's like me, I.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Don't know that. There's certainly something I'm like, oh no,
that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
But I don't know that I've ever he That was
when John Richard died. I was bombed, he got killed.
I sucked. I like John. I was good, you know. Yeah,
I meant Phil Hartmon, I liked Phil harmon day.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
That was me. Yeah, I can't think of one where
I was really like devastated. I always thought, I don't know,
that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
But you know there's some of you're surprised. I got
Paul Walker right when he got killed. Yeah, yeah, sure,
I got Lorena.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Besides Betty White, may she rest in peace.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
Although that was.

You know, lived like twenty more years than she was
opposed to who doesn't want.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
What was kind of sad she didn't get to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
She was so close, so close.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Okay, anyways, besides her, Brittany Murphy really ruined my heart
like that one.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That one hurt.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Yeah, that was a shot.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
I actually actually have thought of one. Chris Chris Cornell,
Chris Cornell. I was a big Chris Cornell fan that
I was. I did bum me out, all right, you
know that is the music.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Yeah, yeah, Charley, Chris Farley.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
Jim Carre not Jim Carrey.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, you know, I'll give you one. I'll give you one.
So I've told this story before, but there was a
guy that used to call LA Sports Radio named, uh

Speaker 1 (34:45):
From God, I forget what name he used from Venice
George from Venice, George carl fame greatest comedian of all
time for me, George George Carlin and one of my buddies,
Lee Lee Klein, became friends with Carlin and and I
was supposed to meet Carlin, but he died unexpectedly and
I didn't get to meet him. Attack right, Cools Kobe, Right,
(35:10):
gotta be Cools Kolobe.
Speaker 8 (35:12):
That one was devastating.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That was unbelievable. Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Did you cry?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I did? Yeah, that was it was I thought it
was fake. Remember initially who else they said was on
the helicopter they thought had died too? No, no, Rick Fox.
Speaker 10 (35:26):
Originally they said Rick Fox initial reports and then but
it's like a bunch of kids right in their pants. No,
I just I just, I mean, I remember it was
right over here, right up the road from us. I'm
like a couple of miles away from what we're broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Yeah, I was getting ready to play a hockey game.
We're in the locker room and some guy on his
phones like, oh my god, Kobe died. And I'm like,
who's reporting that? That was my reporter? Who's reporting that? Yeah,
because you know where those internet hoaxes.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I'm like, he's alive.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, I can't remember what he said it was. I
was like, oh crap.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I kept getting actually in the morning and I'm like what,
people stop texting me. That's exactly what happened to me.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
I was sleeping and like my phone's blowing up, and
I don't just ignore it, but I'm like, what is
going on?
Speaker 8 (36:11):
And then I leave you alone?

little peanut butter candies that are kind of chewable and
they're wrapped in orange or black. They look really old

You like them because they flash back to your childhood
or yeah, and you can only get They only make
